    You're going to have to dig it up. Bamboo is an invasive one!After you dig it up it helps to put down lots of newspaper and then a liner over it to minimize shoots coming back. Good luck!!

    Bamboo is one of the most aggressive plants to get rid of. My daughter had it at a house she owned. The roots went under the house. Her husband poured motor oil on it. Was never able to get rid of it
